Summary

A fascinating account of the unusual relationship between Marilyn Monroe and her last psychiatrist in the fifteen months leading to her suicide.   Marilyn Monroe is remembered as both an iconic sex symbol and a heartbreaking figure who suffered through a chaotic childhood and wrestled with addiction and mental illness. This short true account shines new light on the last days of her life.   Dr. Ralph Greenson, a clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA Medical School and a star among Hollywood psychoanalysts, treated Monroe for the fifteen months before her August 1962 suicide. He saw her seven days a week and brought her into his home. He never got over losing her.   Written by a practicing psychoanalyst, The Misfit recounts this tragic alliance and Marilyn Monroe’s borderline personality, offering compelling insight into the deteriorating mental state of a singular superstar.

    "Freedom's Battle" is an influential essay written by Mahatma Gandhi in 1922 during the Indian independence movement. In this thought-provoking piece, Gandhi reflects on the principles of nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience as a means to challenge and overcome oppressive systems. 
     
    The essay begins with Gandhi acknowledging the critical juncture at which the fight for freedom stands. He passionately articulates the necessity of the struggle for independence and the moral imperative for individuals to resist unjust laws and policies. 
     
    Gandhi introduces the concept of Satyagraha, emphasizing the power of truth and nonviolence. He argues that nonviolent resistance is not a strategy of the weak but a potent force that requires great courage and strength of character. He believes that nonviolence is not a submission to injustice but a proactive, assertive force that can transform both the oppressor and the oppressed. 
     
    Throughout the essay, Gandhi explores the moral duty of individuals to engage in civil disobedience when faced with unjust laws. He contends that obedience to an unjust law is in itself a form of violence, and breaking such laws nonviolently becomes a powerful instrument for societal change. 
     
    Gandhi also touches on the idea of self-suffering as a means of resistance. He advocates for willingly enduring the consequences of civil disobedience as a way to awaken the conscience of the oppressor and the society at large. 
    "Freedom's Battle" is a call to action, urging individuals to recognize their agency in the struggle for freedom and justice. It remains a significant work that encapsulates Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolence and its application in the pursuit of social and political change. The essay serves as a timeless inspiration for movements advocating civil rights, justice, and freedom around the world.

    *Released early for the UK election.*
    
    From our earliest wanderings to the rise of the digital nomad, here is the story of human migration.
    
    For hundreds of thousands of years, the ability of Homo sapiens to travel across vast distances and adapt to new environments has been key to our survival as a species. Yet this deep migratory impulse is being tested as never before. By building ever stronger walls and raising barriers to progress, governments are harming the lives of migrants and threatening the future well-being of our societies.
    
    In The Shortest History of Migration, a visionary thinker tells a story of the movement of peoples that spans every age and continent and goes to the heart of what makes us human. Drawn from ancient records and the latest genetic research, it recounts strange, terrible and uplifting tales of migrants past and present, examining the legacies of empire, slavery and war.
    
    Finally, Goldin turns his attention to today's world, bringing together the evidence of history with the most recent data to suggest how we might create a more humane future -- one that allows us to reap the tremendous benefits that migration can offer.

From a sociological perspective, Satanism may be defined as the adoration of Satan or the Devil through recurrent social or ceremonial behaviors.One could talk about Satanism even by neglecting to expressly love the Devil or, in any event, denying its reality, keeping up contempt for God. Trying those magic and mysterious practices, regularly indecent and vicious, would permit a man to become like God. Some Satanists are mystical and believe in the presence of a demanding Satan. Still, others see Lucifer as the first image of opposition and the carrier of enlightenment to humankind. Similar to any religion or perspective, there's an immense assortment of what Satanists accept. This book means to be a great beginning to comprehend the numerous parts of satanism and Satan.
